This is the main board on The Outhouse, where Outhousers talk about everything. No topics are off limits, and it doesn't have to be about comics. All the topics from the other boards also show up in The Asylum, so you never have to leave1

Since transfer was created, Pokemon games have always had a way to do it (but for the last few years - only in one direction).My favorite Aerdactyl with the Rock Head ability and Double Edge (which is no longer an option for it since Gen IV games). So if I want one in BW I have to...

Get and raise a Rock-Head Aerodactyl in either Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald. Transfer to XD on the Gamecube to learn Double Edge. Transfer back to RSE.Transfer Aerodactyl to Diamond/Pearl/Platinum through Pal ParkThen it's off to B/W/B2/W2 through Poke Transfer

If you have any interest in playing it (Mystery Dungeon games are always fun imo) be warned that this game has a truly evil monster that runs throughout the game.

That monster? Text.

Lots and lots of Poke-dialogue. And unlike the main games where you can set the text speed to fast, in this game you're stuck with what they give you. Pressing the A button moves you to the next text piece but holding down B lets all the text just run from one sentence to the next.

There were times in this game where I was holding B for over 5 minutes - not reading a thing (because I'd lost all interest by then in the story) - but it just kept chugging along.

And it gets worse at the end of the game. You should be revved up getting ready to face the final baddie and then - BAM. Talking non stop talking.

Now that I'm a little ways into the post game stuff it's gotten better, but if the game takes 20 hours to finish, 10 of them were spent trying to not read the bloody text.

I got as far as choosing a Pokemon and the first dungeon. Still trying to get through Fire Emblem (hard when I don't play everyday).

I changed it up from my norm and went with Axew (with Snivy as the partner). As I discovered Axew learns Double Chop rather early, which makes the game a whole lot easier.

Be warned, at the end of the main story, you will lose your main Pokemon and be left with the partner to go spelunking with (in this respect Snivy isn't very good (Although this might be more a level 34 Snivy taking on lvl 50 Beartics problem than just Snivy not being very good)).

For those of you in North America, the next new set of passwords has been revealed by the official site. This password will get you a special Joy Seed that lets you increase level by 1. The password is: 8P868TP7. This password is activated within the Wonder Mail section of the game.

Pokémon Rumble U

The first details of CoroCoro have come out and revealed more details for Pokémon Rumble U. This doesn't reveal much new but does reveal that the game will also have passwords for obtaining Pokémon. CoroCoro has given a password 51830476 which gives you a Garchomp. It also confirms that there are special abilities again, including ones that can be set yourself. You can also use coins to set names of various Pokémon toys. Finally, it confirms that Shiny Pokémon make a return to the game, with the Garchomp being distributed being one. Thanks to Guested for assistance in translation.It also teases that something connecting the arcade game Pokémon Tretta and the 3DS will be revealed

Pokémon -

Though it doesn't reveal anything new, CoroCoro also reveals the pieces about the new Pokémon revealed last week. In doing so, it confirms that it replaces Mewtwo on the movie poster and confirms that it is in fact a new form of Mewtwo, with the poster explanation stating that Mewtwo has awakened and become its new shape.

The second set of figures for Pokémon Rumble U have been revealed, including fan favourites Eevee and Mewtwo.

The set, which Serebii.net reports is due to be released in Japan on May 25, is rounded out by Croagunk, Zoroark, Litwick and Genesect as well as another secret figure.

It's also been revealed that you'll be able to unlock monsters for use in the game with passwords released through Nintendo promotions and IC Cards. IC Cards are like Oyster Cards in the UK, and allow people to touch in and out on public transport including trains and buses.
